Currently, Canadians have raised concerns about the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. A review of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program has been incorporated in the Economic Action Plan 2013 and legislation has been enacted to change the rules.
It will be a rule for employers to pay temporary foreign workers the prevailing wage in their industry instead of allowing a foreign worker to be paid at 85% of the prevailing wage. It is now obligatory for companies to produce a clear plan to make the exchange from the use of foreign workers to employment of Canadians. The plan should contain provision for training Canadians if essential.
Employer’s payments for the processing of labor market opinions (LMOs) and increased fees for work permits have been noticed so that Canadian taxpayers are no longer investing in the costs. Employers will be accepted to identify only English and French as the languages that can be helpful for job requirement.
